Cargill recognizes that it does not have all the answers to the complex environmental, economic and social issues the world faces.  We seek to form strong partnerships with established, credible global, national and local organizations to develop long-term solutions. We believe by working together we can deliver on long-term solutions to complex issues.  Our approach also brings together the expertise and the involvement of our employees around the world.

What do we look for in partner?

Our global, national and local partnerships involve contributions of skills and knowledge as well as financial and technical support.  To ensure that Cargill’s giving is aligned with our business objective to help build sustainable communities where we live and work we seek partnerships with organizations working in our three focus areas: nutrition and health, education and environmental stewardship.

How we select our partners    

• We identify partnerships where Cargill’s involvement can make a distinctive contribution and create solutions.
• We work at solving real and underlying problems rather than treating symptoms.
• We select activities that align with our unique business interests.
• We engage our employees and leverage their expertise to strengthen partnerships.
• We provide opportunities to collaborate with others including customers and non-governmental organizations (NGOs).
